This Week's Challenges, sort of

This first tile is actually last week's SquareOne challenge: Huggins. I did the Huggins part fairly quickly, but then couldn't decide what to put in the corners. It seemed a little bare without something; so I kept playing around with ideas until I came up with Diva Dance/Waltz. I liked it, so I added it to my tile. But now I'm not so sure. Anyway, here it is:

The second tile is Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge #48; she calls it the Polka Dot Tangle. Draw some circles, don't overlap, and fill each circle with a different tangle. Pretty straightforward.

Then there's the Diva's Challenge #205: incorporate the Chinese New Year into the tile. 2015 is the Year of the Goat; and after looking for images online. I discovered a multitude: some of goats and some of the Chinese symbol for Year of the Goat. I decided to go with the latter. My first attempt produced this:
 I'm not very happy with this; it's really slipshod. So if I can come up with something better before the day is over, I will edit this post and add it.

Last minute addition: for That String Thing #80:

 The patterns to use were supposed to be Kozy and Inaura. Try as I might, I could not get them to work together, so here's a monotangle of Inaura:
 


Meanwhile, be sure to check out SquareOne, madebyjoey, iamthediva, and It'saStringThing, for all the other entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out one of the Challenges yourself.

  2. I love the rich red color of your New Year tile! What did you use? The design and concept are so beautiful you really should consider a more permanent version to display somewhere. It really is striking and beautiful!
